The Manhattans

This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'til I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darlin', don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Take my hankerchief, wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss
And say goodbye

"Kiss and Say Goodbye" é uma canção gravada pelo American R & B grupo vocal The Manhattans . A canção foi escrita por Winfred "Blue" Lovett, que faz parte do grupo.

Criado em 1964 na cidade de New Jersey, o quinteto "The Manhattans", formado por George Smith (que morreu em 1970, sendo substituído por Gerald Alston), Winnie Lovett, Kenny Kelly, Ernest Bivens e Richard Taylor estreou em disco um ano depois, com a balada "I Wanna Be (Your Everything)".

Em 1975, eles assinaram contrato com a Columbia, iniciando ali sua melhor fase. O primeiro grande hit da carreira dos Manhattans veio em 1976, com "Kiss And Say Goodbye". Quatro anos depois, o grupo emplacou outro grande sucesso: "Shining Star". Em 1983, os Manhattans gravaram mais uma balada que se tornaria clássica, "Forever By Your Side". Foi o último hit do grupo, que continua em atividade, apresentando-se principalmente no circuito de cassinos de Las Vegas.
